My impression’s been that they are 100% confident that it won’t work, and that they’re better off with this as a “Trump flails around” story than a “parties clash over results, who’s right?” story https://twitter.com/lebassett/status/1329439783236595718
By sitting back and letting lawyers handle it they've gone 28-1 in court (and the one Trump victory, if upheld, wouldn't affect the PA count), watched Rs rip each others' faces off in Georgia, watched an attempt to throw out Detroit's vote backfire on GOP/go viral.
Are they overconfident? Election officials say they aren't - see Benson in MI who sees no impediment to certifying the vote. Maybe on Earth-2 Biden is flying to Detroit to make the Wayne County stuff more infamous. But their instinct is: Don't swing at everything.
That said I'm separating the GSA/transition stuff from the election rumor mill stuff. The case for not rebutting every OAN report on how the CIA stole the election from Trump (seriously, they ran that) is stronger than the case for just letting the GSA run the clock til December.
